Local scale invariance (LSI) has been recently proposed as a possible extension of the dynamical scaling in systems at the critical point and during phase ordering. LSI has been applied inter alia to provide predictions for the scaling…
This article is the second in a series of two presenting the Scale Relativistic approach to non-differentiability in mechanics and its relation to quantum mechanics. Here, we show Schroedinger's equation to be a reformulation of Newton's…

By defining a prepotential function for the stationary Schr\"odinger equation we derive an inversion formula for the space variable $x$ as a function of the wave-function $\psi$. The resulting equation is a Legendre transform that relates…
It is shown that, in the non-relativistic limit, causal fermion systems give rise to an effective collapse theory. The nonlinear and stochastic correction terms to the Schr\"odinger equation are derived from the causal action principle. The…
A central notion of physics is the rate of change. While mathematically the concept of derivative represents an idealization of the linear growth, power law types of non-linearities even in noiseless physical signals cause derivative…
Because scaling symmetries of the Euler-Lagrange equations are generally not variational symmetries of the action, they do not lead to conservation laws. Instead, an extension of Noether's theorem reduces the equations of motion to…
One of the main results of Scale Relativity as regards the foundation of quantum mechanics is its explanation of the origin of the complex nature of the wave function. The Scale Relativity theory introduces an explicit dependence of…
In a variety of systems which exhibit aging, the two-time response function scales as $R(t,s)\approx s^{-1-a} f(t/s)$. We argue that dynamical scaling can be extended towards conformal invariance, obtaining thus the explicit form of the…
Zamolodchikov's recursion relations are used to analyze the existence and approximations to the classical conformal block in the case of four parabolic weights. Strong numerical evidence is found that the saddle point momenta arising in the…
Two categories of results regarding quantum measurements are derived in this work and applied to the problem of collapse. The first category is concerned with local and transient features of the entanglement between a macroscopic measuring…

A natural generalization of the CSL (Continuous Spontaneous Localization) theory of dynamical collapse is applied to a relativistic quantum scalar field $\phi({\bf x},t)$. It is shown that the modified Schr\"odinger equation is…
A new set of infinitesimal transformations generalizing scale invariance for strongly anisotropic critical systems is considered. It is shown that such a generalization is possible if the anisotropy exponent \theta =2/N, with N=1,2,3 ...…
For the two-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation, the general form of the point transformations such that the result can be interpreted as a Schr\"odinger equation with effective (i.e. position dependent) mass is studied. A wide class of such…
A previous one-dimensional derivation of Schr\"odinger's equation from statistical assumptions is generalized to three spatial dimensions, gauge fields, and spin. It is found that the same statistical assumptions that imply Schr\"odinger's…

The generic shape of the single-time and two-time correlators in non-equilibrium phase-ordering kinetics with ${z}=2$ is obtained from the co-variance of the four-point response functions. Their non-equilibrium scaling forms follow from a…
An exact analysis is performed for the two-point correlation function C(r,t) in dissipative Burgers turbulence with bounded initial data, in arbitrary spatial dimension d. Contrary to the usual scaling hypothesis of a single dynamic length…
The possibility of the extension of spatial diffeomorphisms to a larger family of symmetries in a class of classical field theories is studied. The generator of the additional local symmetry contains a quadratic kinetic term and a potential…
